You can make a face shield at home using materials found at hardware or home improvement stores. While these face shields are not approved medical devices, they’re better than nothing.

These face shields can:
Protect against flying objects, splashes, liquids or droplets
Be sanitized with soap and water or sterilizers
Be worn over a mask or a bandana for extra protection

Disclaimer: These designs and instructions are offered for your personal use and discretion. We neither make nor imply any licensing or specific purpose for these shields. To be clear, you’re on your own here. Be careful drilling, heating the acrylic, and using the glue gun. And having said all that, thanks for making them.

This process was a team effort by the folks at DIY Face Shield. See the video on YouTube or watch it in Step 8. Download the instructions as a PDF.
